We bought this good sized group of these about 18 years back, just now getting around to offering them! We have many other different types we will be listing as time permits. These listed are the last we have of this type. We do combine shipping on multiple items to save you money, all items sent insured, much safer than tracking. FEED BACKS- We no longer give Feed Backs for items we sell. Unfortunately eBay's Feed Back system has become a joke, and a great time waster. Not giving a Feed Back on items we sell is not a reflection on the buyer in any way. We do give Feed Backs on all items we purchase on eBay.
